Urologic oncology

Track 12: Urologic oncology

The urologist is the first doctor you see, deals with, and probably develop a bond with since he delivered the message that you had cancer. A medical oncologist is a cancer doctor who treats all types of cancer. In some other cancers, he is the first doctor you see, not the surgeon. Prostate cancer, Testicular cancer, Penile cancer, these are the different types of urologic cancers which an urologist can see in women.

A urologic oncologist is a physician with special training in diagnosing and treating cancers of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. These organs include the bladder, kidneys, prostate, penis, and testicles. An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer and provides medical care for a person diagnosed with cancer. The field of oncology has three major areas: medical, surgical, and radiation. A medical oncologist treats cancer using chemotherapy or other medications, such as targeted therapy or immunotherapy.
